Steps toward undertaking research on
climate change issues...

It is vital for public health officials to understand global trends and their local and regional implications. What are the most reliable resources available from the scientific community that can be of assistance in understanding the changing patterns of global climate change? How can those concerned with public health gain regular access to the latest scientific data? How can they become part of the global discussions that are emerging about how to address the ever more pressing problems that our changing global climate will pose for the human community.
